Chat Markup

Applies some markdown/slack/reddit-like markup to chat messages.

Translations:

• _italic_ becomes italic
• *bold* becomes bold
• `code` becomes code
• ~strike~ becomes strike

Markup can be nested, so

• _italic *bolddd*_ becomes italic bold
• ~`error`~ becomes error

But markup does not nest inside code blocks, so

• `a _line_ of code` becomes a _line_ of code
• *a `code ~block~`* becomes a code ~block~

Also, markup does not apply when it starts halfway through a word, so

• hello @_username_ stays hello @_username_
• https://mysite.com/some_web_page stays https://mysite.com/some_web_page

Basically, it attempts to do what you would expect.
